Hebrews 3:1-6

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 3:6

But Christ as a Son over his own house - He is not a servant. To the whole household or family of God he sustains the same relation which a son and heir in a family does to the household. That relation is far different from that of a servant. Moses was the latter; Christ was the former. To God he sustained the relation of a Son, and recognized Him as his Father, and sought in all things to do his will; but over the whole family of God - the entire Church of all dispensations - he was like a son... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 3:1

Hebrews 3:1. The apostle, in the first chapter of this epistle, having affirmed that Jesus of Nazareth, by whom the gospel revelation was given to mankind, is God’s Son, in a peculiar sense; a sense in which no man or angel is his son; and having proved, from the Jewish Scriptures, that God had constituted this his Son the Heir or Lord of all things, because by him he made the worlds; and in the second chapter, having answered the objections which were, or might be, brought for... read more

Hebrews 3:2. Who was faithful to him that appointed him The sacred penman, entering upon a comparison between Moses and Christ, as he was the apostle of God, or one sent by him to reveal his will, he recommends him to the faith of the Hebrews, under the principal qualification of a person in that office; he was faithful, which faithfulness he further describes by its respect to that act whereby he was appointed by God to the office. God’s apostle is the chief steward or dispenser of his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 3:3-4

Hebrews 3:3-4. For, &c. The apostle proceeds in this verse, and the three following, with his design of evidencing the excellence of Christ above Moses, as he had done before in reference to angels, and all other revealers of the will of God to the church; the word for denoting the connection of this paragraph with Hebrews 3:1: “Consider him,” says he; for he is worthy of more glory than Moses. The church being called the house of God, and that by God himself, the apostle takes... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 3:5-6

Hebrews 3:5-6. And Moses verily Another proof of the pre-eminence of Christ above Moses; was faithful in all his house as a servant Θεραπων , minister, or officer. In describing the faithfulness of Moses, when, under God, he built the Jewish Church, God called him, (Numbers 12:7,) My servant Moses. From this the apostle justly inferred that Moses was not a legislator, but only a messenger from the legislator, or his minister. This was his place, this his dignity and honour; and it... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-6

3:1-5:10 GOD’S TRUE PEOPLEChrist greater than Moses (3:1-6)Moses was God’s special ‘apostle’ to Israel, the chosen representative he sent to his people. Aaron was God’s appointed high priest, the person who approached God on the people’s behalf. Christ is greater than both (3:1). Christ was faithful in his work as Moses was in his. But Christ is far superior. Moses was but a servant in the house of God (i.e. the people of God), whereas Christ built the house and is head over it. That house... read more
